FYI, the variations in black color are caused by the peal ply.
If you wonder why 14'6 and not 14', it's for glide. My gliding increased when I added 6 inches. Also, when I swapped between my old 14'6 and a Glide 14, the loss of glide was noticeable. Since I only do downwinders, fitting into racing classes is not a concern.

Have you tried longer? 17' seems like like the magic number here in SoCal (for me at least) for daily summer wind swells. Shorter and glide is reduced, longer and you begin to plow into the back of the swell in front of you. Longer still and your fin comes out of the water with "unpredictable" results. Your fetch may vary :)
I have not tried a 17 footer.
We plow into the backs of waves on every glide.
I've thought about length a lot. More length and the board gets heavier. I hate heavy. It kills my acceleration.
I settled on 14'6 to avoid needing a rudder. A rudder would add more weight.
hi i would like to know what is the rocker nose of this board
